Solution-focused therapy

Solution-focused therapy, also called solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT), is a type of therapy that places far more importance on discussing solutions rather than problems. It relies on the notion that complex problems do not require complex solutions. Of course, you must discuss the problem to find a solution, but beyond understanding what the problem is and deciding how to address it, solution-focused therapy will not dwell on every detail of the problem you are experiencing.

Solution-focused brief therapy does not involve a deep dive into your childhood and the ways in which your past has influenced your present. Instead, it will root your sessions firmly in the present whilst working towards a future in which your current problems have less of an impact on your life.
